Wondering how much it costs to move or remove a mobile home?
If you hire a professional company, the cost to move a mobile home typically ranges from $10,000 to $13,000. This depends on several factors, including the age, condition, and location of the home. For example, moving a mobile home from a wooded or rocky area can drive up the price dramatically.
But what if you don’t want to move it—you just want it gone? You have options, but unfortunately, most of them come with high costs. You could pay to have the home transported off your land, or you could cover mobile home demolition and disposal fees, which often run into thousands of dollars.
Either way, mobile home disposal costs can get up to the thousands and tens of thousands of dollars.
And, quite often, we find that many people simply want to dispose of their mobile home, rather than relocate it or attempt to sell it. (We find this is the case, especially when the mobile home is old and has seen a lot of wear and tear.) It seems a shame to pay so much money for demolition costs and disposal fees or to move your home to a mobile home park when it’s something that you’re simply trying to get rid of.
Four Ways to Remove a Mobile Home
Depending on the condition of the home, you may be able to get it removed for free, or you may have to pay to get it hauled off. Below, we’ve broken down 4 possible ways to get rid of a mobile home off your land:
- Donate a Livable Mobile Home for Free Removal
If your mobile home is still structurally sound and livable, Banyan Mobile Home Removal will remove your single- or double-wide home at no cost when you donate it. You may even qualify for a tax deduction. - Contact Local Solid Waste Services
If you think that your mobile home is too far gone to be repaired or lived in, you should contact your local municipal garbage service or solid waste vendor. They may be able to remove your trailer home as part of their garbage collection services. - Seek Help After Natural Disasters
If your mobile home has been damaged by a weather event, such as a hurricane or tornado, and is no longer livable, contact FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency). They might get rid of your mobile home if they deem it a public health hazard. - Hire a Mobile Home Moving Company
Finally, you could contact a mobile home mover and transport service. But bear in mind, that transport-only move is already a costly service, ranging from $700-$3,500. For a full move, as we mentioned previously, you will have to pay up to $10,000 or even more.
